vApplication filed January 26, 1924.. Serial No: 688,813.

T0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MAX HANEL, a citizen of the GermanRepublic, residing at Schlettau, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Storm Lanterns with Protecting Rings between Glasses and Hoods, for which I have-filed an application for patent in. Germany on the 22nd September, 1923, and of which thefollowing'is a specification. c o 7 y In order to protectthe flame in the lantern against the windla separate ring-is arranged above the pane on the lower side of the hood. This protecting ring must-however be very narrow as suificient space must be left for the insertion of the glass from.

sert the glass globe the lower part of the protecting ring is raised also. The invention w1ll be best understood from a consideration of the following detailed description taken in connection with the ac companying drawings forming a part of this specification, with the understanding that while on the drawings one'embodiment of the invention is disclosed, the invention isnot confined to any strict conformity with the showing of the drawings, but may be.

embodied in any manner which does not make a material departure from the salient features of the invention. v

In the drawing only the part of a storm lantern is shown which is important for this invention. V I I Fig. 1 shows this part of the lantern in side elevation, the glass globe inserted. L

Fig. Z'illustrates how the lower part of" the protecting ring is moved in upward dieven in the heaviest storm.

rectiontogether withthe wirering which glass, the glass j serves as mounting for the frame be ng removed.

Fig. 3 1s a plan view the upper part 2 by means of hinges The commonly used wire ring 5 which. serves as mounting for the upper edge of the glass of the protecting ring in cross section, v

I The protecting ring consists of an upper part 2 fixed on the hood 1 of the lantern and of a lower movable part 4 attached to is connected with the lower part fl of'the protecting ring by rolled up" tongues 6 or in any other convenient manner. If the wire ring 5 is pulled up with the aid of the handle 7 as shown in Fig. 2, the-lower part 4 of the protecting rin'gis raised also so that sufiicient' space is made free for the insertion or removal of the glass-globe 8.

When the glass globe is inserted and accurately mounted in the wire vring'5 the lower I part 4 of the protecting ring together with the upper part2 of thesame close the joint between the glass and the hood'so perfectly that the flame in the lantern burns steadily I claim it storm lantern tion 'a hood, a glass globe, a movable wire ring serving as mounting for the glass lobe comprising in combinaand a protectingring between said' 00d and said wire ring designed to tightly pack the joint between the glass globe and the 1 wire ring, said protecting ring consisting of an upper part rigidly fixed on the hood and of a lower movable part hingedly connected with said upper part and connected with said wire ring so that it may be pulled up with the same when the glass has to be inserted or removed. p v

In testimony whereof I a ture in presence of two witnesses.
